Bootstrap narrative - the idea an individual can achieve success solely through their own hard work, personal responsibility, and initiative, without external help... misleading because it downplays the impact of systemic issues, societal advantages, or disadvantages, and external factors..

Trying to remember a poem I won a competition with with in early 20s.

After The Fact (remnants)

Nothing to something, beating, pulsating,
Louder as I retreat. Soaring fuller,
it or whatever, longingly alien.
Thoughtlessly in feeling “I am coming to life”.

Factory farms are skirting climate rules in dozens of applications.

One megafarm in Norfolk planned to raise nearly 900,000 animals – without assessing its climate emissions.

Keir Starmer today called it “utterly appalling” that a Reform UK councillor described children in care as “downright evil”.

This report by a Care Experienced writer reveals how that remark still reverberates in Cambridgeshire.

Exactly. He should resign.
Todd Blanche would have had these emails before interviewing Maxwell. Why didn’t he question her directly about her exchanges? Why did he not follow up when she said things that were onviously a lie?? This shows that was a performance intended to dupe the public and benefit her (and Trump)
